    It should be

    <![CDATA

    not 

    <! [CDATA

    it finds the ‘>’ at the end there and doesn’t like it.

    You also need to change all ‘”‘, ‘<‘ and ‘>’ inside your php code snippet to html entities.
    You should do it this way:

    ...
<![CDATA[".htmlspecialchars($row['desiredcandidate'])."]]>
...

    And get it back out like this:

    htmlspecialchars_decode($string)
